The problem _may_ have been power connector related.  When I have / 
create issues such as this, my first step is to disassemble, wipe all 
male connectors with contact cleaner and re-assemble.  Some of the plugs 
going into the modular power supply felt loose when removed, so extra 
care was taken to plug them back in and making sure the barbed tip of 
the holder snapped firmly into place.  It _may_ also have been 
improperly placed data cord connectors at the very crowded HDD end.

But, the odd thing is that when I was seeing the problem, I was always 
seeing one Bank 1 (1-5) and one Bank 2 (6-B) HDD, regardless of how I 
configured the connectors at the add-in board.

So the correct answer is "all of these," "none of these," or "something 
else."  However, with the current, "it all just works" condition I will 
be checking daily, then weekly for a while.  I don't like to attribute 
things to dumb luck.
